Singer. Songwriter. Actor. Model. Champion athlete. That's a lot to pack into 16 years. But, for Mathias Anderle, it's all in a day's work.

Born in Puyallup, Washington, not far from Seattle (sorry girls, that's nowhere near Forks, home to another famous, but immortal teen), Mathias has always been surrounded by musicians and artists. For a young musician, you could say that Mathias won the geographical lottery. He was lucky enough to be born in Northwest Washington- one of the most celebrated and eclectic music scenes in the world- and the home of Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Sound Garden, Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie, just to name a few.

It didn't take long for Mathias' passion for music and acting to become the driving force in his life. By the age of 5, he was singing and performing at local church productions. He taught himself how to play the guitar at the age of 10 and began playing the local coffee house circuit while he was still in Jr. High School. Mathias co-writes most of his own songs and his influences are varied, "I've always challenged myself to learn new musical styles and incorporate them into my songwriting," says Mathias. "I like to mix together Jazz, R&B, Pop, Rock and Reggae to create my own unique sound. I really admire artists like Justin Timberlake and Jesse McCartney who've successfully mixed different genres and influences," he adds.

Mathias is now hard at work writing and recording for his debut album release in 2010. His first single, "Shine On," is a featured track on KIDZ BOP 17, dropping on January 26th. Mathias stars in the CD's major TV ad campaign and is prominently featured on the album packaging."I'd been working on several songs over the last eight months and had written the guitar chord progressions and partial lyrics for 'Shine On.' This fall, I got into the studio and collaborated with an amazing producer and the song really came together. It's about something I think a lot of us can relate to…really liking a particular person and how you feel when they actually show an interest in you too," he explains. A full-length music video for "Shine On" is also scheduled to premiere in February 2010.

The Anderle family recently relocated from rainy Washington to sunny Los Angeles, so that Mathias could pursue both his music and acting careers. Not long after arriving in LA, he landed the role of Colin- the male lead in the upcoming Nickelodeon movie, "School Gyrls"- co-starring Justin Bieber, Kristinia DeBarge and Soulja Boy. The movie, slated to bow in February 2010 on the hit cable network, was written and directed by popular rapper and actor, Nick Cannon.

The busy teen can also add in-demand male model to his repertoire. At 16, he is the youngest model ever to be signed to the Wilhelmina Men's Board. You may have already seen him in print campaigns for Nordstrom, Qwest and numerous youth apparel lines.

When he's not singing, acting or modeling, Mathias can usually be found on the field or catching a wave. As a premier level soccer player, Mathias played for a P1 team in Washington and was a member of the State Olympic Development Program. "I'd definitely want to be a professional soccer player if I wasn't singing and acting," he admits. Mathias' love of the game inspired him to create the One World Soccer Foundation. The organization collects new and used soccer gear for kids that would otherwise not have the chance to play. Mathias hopes to expand the organization, which currently helps kids in the US and Mexico, worldwide in the coming year. Off the field, Mathias is an avid surfer and skim boarder, activities he'll get to enjoy even more now that he's living in LA full time.

Mathias is also very close to his family and friends. He's excited about embarking on this new LA adventure with his mom, dad, younger sister, Brittney, and the four family pets.

Now, who says you can't do it all?!?!
